Camberley Young People Confirmed By Bishop of Guildford

One Bishop, eleven young people from St Paul’s, and one amazing day. Sunday 22 April was a special day, when a group of young people made a real commitment to their faith, by getting confirmed. Bishop Christopher visited St Paul’s for the occasion.

Sarah Percival, Youth Director at St Paul’s said: “It was such a joy and a privilege to see 6 of our young people baptised and a further 5 confirmed last week. Praise God that he is at work and that he answers prayers! It was such a lovely event. A great family atmosphere and the church was absolutely packed out. The young people invited loads of their friends, family and teachers!”.

It was standing room only, as each person gave a testimony as part of the service, a pretty brave declaration! Daniel and Emily’s typify those from the rest of the group.

“I first felt that I wanted to become confirmed after my second year at new wine [Christian summer conference], where I met and saw people whose lives had really taken a turn for the better through coming closer to God. I knew at once that I wanted to become a greater part of that. From that day forward I have felt that I have become closer to God through the church, and I now feel ready to join him.” – Daniel Bonnett

“From the beginning I was brought up in a Christian family. However, I wanted to make my own decision and choose the way of the lord Jesus. After being at Church, Alpha, and Bible Study groups at the weekends, I decided that I believe Jesus died to take away my sins. The reason I want to be confirmed is to show that I want to become closer to God and have an even stronger faith.” – Emily Sewell
